Xiaomi SU7 hits 130,000 sales, achieves full-year target

On the first anniversary of its SU7’s reveal on Saturday, Xiaomi announced that its first ever car reached its full-year sales target of 130,000 units. This figure was already adjusted upwards after the Porsche Taycan-baiting electric sedan achieved the original goal of 100,000 units on November 18, a month and a half ahead of schedule.

This is despite sales of the SU7 only starting on March 28, giving it just nine full months to hit the lofty target. It has certainly been popular – the entire production of 2024 was sold out within 24 hours of its launch, while the waiting list stretched to seven months at one point. Even with its fair share of teething problems, including alleged brake issues, China’s appetite for the car remains insatiable.

The tech giant has done well to keep interest in the SU7 high, revealing the high-performance Ultra in October. The world’s fastest sedan uses three motors to produce a whopping 1,548 PS, enabling it to sprint from zero to 100 km/h in just 1.98 seconds – quicker than the Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Sapphire and Porsche Taycan Turbo GT.

The same powertrain is used in the track-only Ultra Prototype, which achieved the Nürburgring Nordschleife four-door lap record with a time of 6 minutes 46.874 seconds. Sales of the production model is set to kick off next March.

Also set to be launched in the new year is Xiaomi’s second car, the YU7 SUV, sales of which are slated to begin in June or July. Looking all the world like a cut-price Ferrari Purosangue, this is essentially a lifted SU7 and is expected to be even more powerful (690 PS) than the regular top-spec 673 PS SU7 Max.

    this has been a EV supercar that has triumphed the Porsche Taycan EV
